Jerusalem (Hebrew: Yerushalayim, Arabic: al-Quds) is a key religious city for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Because of its age, there are naturally a lot of tombs in the area - including tombs of famous individual (or at least their alleged tombs). Around Jerusalem there are many sites where pilgrims go to be near what they believe to be the final resting spots of martyrs and other important religious figures.
